Solo/Co-op mode someday?

[ForestSmurf]

Is there ever going to be a solo/co-op mode where only you (and some friends) get into a dungeons to explore, fight bosses and the like? Something like dungeon crawl?

I can understand if there won't be, after all the game seems low on developers anyway with tiny updates. But I got to state the potential the normal mechanics have for such a thing as co-op dungeon delve experience.

PvE mode comes in 10 days, but we know nothing except release date about it.

I thought it was just "coming soon" (tm) and we don't know when, do you have a source?

I think Twitter? It said that the new PVE mode would be in the next wipe/reset on April 10th. It also said more information on the new PVE mode would be on April 2nd. There has also been a pseudo Q&A done on Twitch I think, where SDF said something along the lines of pve mode items being limited to epic (purple) and below. Apparently they were drunk though, so take that as you will.

Yeah, limited to Epic quality drops at the highest and supposedly basically the same as PvPvE but with the Player-to-player damage turned off.

...Hopefully they also disable Pickpocket in PvE mode because otherwise that's just going to be obnoxious.

hopefully theres just no other players in PvE (besides party) because you can still just troll by mob dumping and loot stealing.

If they could solve the mob dumping (make them hard teleport back to their initial room if the currently aggro'd target vanishes or something idk) I'd honestly be fine with other people in the dungeon.

Might bring back some of that more casual roleplaying or joking around that was present back in the earlier days of the Steam launch.

my biggest concern is people standing in doorways to block it to troll, but id assume theyd think that far ahead and allow running into people to move them or allow going through players or something, like hitting pushes them back a little (but that can also be abused to troll so idk)

Body blocking in general is problem. I think every class should have some kinda tool to break out of it or it should be a base mechanic. getting locked into a corner surrounded by mobs isn't a pleasant way to die. path of exile has the same problem. I'm not sure what is the solution, maybe a kick mechanic to push enemies out of the way, maybe more abilities to phase through or get out of jail skills, idk. positioning is important to remain a threat in the game but getting pushed into a corner by a troll and surrounded by weaker mobs who aren't really a threat isn't a fun way to die or fun difficulty imo.

Solution: Get better positioning.
